The invention discloses a self-embracing-clamping uplifting type vehicle carrying device. A bottom frame of the vehicle carrying device is provided with a travelling mechanism, the bottom frame comprises at least two carrying units which are mutually connected, and each carrying unit is provided with two clamping arm sets, a clamping arm exptending-retracting mechanism and a clamping mechanism; the clamping mechanisms are mainly composed of air springs, and the position between the two clamping arms of the at least one clamping arm set are connected with the air springs for driving the clamping arms to conduct embracing clamping; the carrying units are further provided with lifting mechanisms, lifting idler wheels at the top ends of lifting brackets of the lifting mechanisms roll up and down along bevels of lifting inclined vehicles, thus lifting racks are driven to rise or fall relative to lifting hanging frames, and rising and falling of the clamping arms are achieved; and the air springs are stretched by air spring stretching mechanisms through stretching chain transmission mechanisms to reset. According to the self-embracing-clamping uplifting type vehicle carrying device, automatic embracing and clamping of vehicle tires can be achieved, uplifting is rapid, the carrying efficiency is improved, the system structure is simplified, and control and positioning are easy.
